21/1/24 Thurles

 It was another excellent day on Saturday with both my picks winning at Navan, in the 12.45 Asian Master sat 2nd early challenging to lead before the last. The 4/6 favourite stayed on well under pressure comfortably beating Better Days Ahead by 10 lengths. In the days big listed race Harvard Guy travelled well taking 3rd entering the straight. The 7/4 favourite made good headway to lead inside the final furlong beating Kilbree Warrior by 3/4 of a length. 

 There are 7 races at Thurles on Sunday with 2 highlights. 

1.05: Carey Glass Irish EBF Mares Novice Chase (Grade 2)

1: Hauturiere: A useful chaser who picked up her career best win in a Grade 2 at Limerick 25 days ago. She led from 2 out going clear before the last keeping on well and very easily beating Sainte Dona by 35 lengths. With further improvement expected she can follow up here.

1.35: Horse & Jockey Hotel Chase (Grade 2)

2: Allaho: A top-class horse who saw his five race winning streak come to an end when 3rd in the King George at Kempton 26 days ago. He led from 2 out but was passed in the final 100 yards losing 2nd close to home. He wasn’t disgraced and going back down in trip makes him the one to beat here.
